How to Use Trackers and Indicators in a Golf Lesson

Begin with the coaching question

Do not start a lesson by scanning every available metric. Start with the golfer’s goal, ball flight, and the movement hypothesis you want to test.

Choose a Tracker

Select the continuous measurement that best represents the movement. Chest turn, pelvis sway, or hand speed can show not only how much motion occurred, but when it occurred during the swing.

Isolate an Indicator

Use an Indicator to capture the Tracker at a meaningful event such as address, the top, or impact. This creates a simple baseline that the coach and golfer can revisit.

Pair the number with a visual

Show the movement on the 3D avatar and explain it in plain language. The purpose of the number is to make feedback clearer and change measurable—not to overwhelm the golfer.

Re-measure after the intervention

After a cue, drill, or constraint, record another swing and compare the same Tracker and Indicator. Keep the golfer focused on the movement and outcome that matter for the lesson.
